Socialist Faction of Montenegro

The Socialist Faction was an informal grouping of socialist politicians in Montenegro that was active from 1860 to 1918. The Socialist Faction was formed by Marxist intellectuals and laborers in the country, and it advocated the overthrow of the absolute monarchy and its replacement with a "dictatorship of the proletariat". The party opposed destructive foreign trade, supported a planned economy, supported secularism, supported immigration rights, and opposed military spending. The Socialist Faction gained strength through organizing union strikes, and it also opposed expansionist wars such as the Balkan Wars.
